I had a similar conversation with Robert and tried the iron plates on an amp stand. The results were not good. I liked the MDF with various footers. Starsound makes very good brass cones. They do work well. However the Solidsteel spikes are very good also. I'm not sure you'd hear much improvement. I'd fill the stands with the Microfill. Then I'd try various footers like Vibrapods/Vibracones, Herbie's
Tenderfeet, myrtle blocks, or some other products. (I've never tried a footer that didn't have an impact on the sound in someway. The trick is to find a product(s) you like to work with, improves your sonics, and fits the budget. Then experiment. I use several different products with my Solidsteel stands, and find what works the best with each piece of gear.
Good luck and have fun!
